I've been watching Devons channel for awhile now it seems that he is a great teacher. You my friend are a freaking professor in the science of arm wrestling. I'm glad I found your channel. Like and subscribed.
Travis definitely has better advice than Devon. Don't do what Devon says I'd say actually. Do what Travis says. But Devon is good for the sport bevause of his charisma
Damn I don't arm wrestle but even with my limited knowledge I can tell... "that's good shit right there!" The explanation and demonstration is top notch Travis. You also come across really good on the cam. Very authoritative and matter of fact. The way you talk and carry yourself demands respect of the viewer and then you follow through with some gold ass knowledge lol
This is exactly how i hit my side pressure machine and its how i set up my high hook. I try to get my set up to look the same for all my moves but im absolutely strategizing on my opponent’s in my weight class ill watch them warm up since i pull cold ill watch their left hand matches even though i only pull righty its absolutely no guarantee but its some kind of data i can gather and Ill also watch them pull righty and since i train and experiment in all styles im not afraid to try and counter them from all the info i gathered. The only set up i have that’s different are my two variations of a low hand top roll.
Wow! Fucking wow!! Ok, any time I see the post on Facebook with all the greats faces on there, and they ask "who do you want to learn from?" I am choosing the Beast!!
This is good stuff. Toprolling is a tried and true way to beat "overall stronger" opponents. Most people don't train wrists and fingers enough! Very satisfying move! The bit on elbow positioning was especially helpful. My question is a bit of an odd one. You often hear the kings move connected to "willingness to break your arm" - But does it ever happen? I've not been able to find a single case. Nearly all breaks are humeral fractures from hooking with open shoulder. Ps. 8:42 *Setup* was good, but it's hard to see proper rotation and back pressure without resistance. Just something to think about for future lessons!
Morten R L Yes, you could break an arm at the elbow joint, but it’s highly unlikely to happen because the “kings mover” will usually let himself be pinned before reaching the necessary downforce pressure to break it. It all comes down to leverage and the only way to break the elbow joint is if there’s enough down force pressure at the hand and your body is anchored down by something not allowing you to rise up as the downforce pressure at the end of your arm increases OR if the downforce pressure at the hand is strong and fast enough, in which case your elbow joint will snap before you rise up to relieve the pressure and be pinned. An easy demonstration of this, is a tree branch placed on the ground with a rock under it right in the middle, the rock represents the table (arm wrestling) and where the tree branch and the rock meet represent the (elbow joint). If you step on the side of the branch that’s facing up which represents the (hand) the other side which represents the (arm wrestler) will rise up and you’ll pin the (hand) side on the ground, BUT if you place enough weight on the (arm wrestler) side of the branch you’ll create an anchor (which is in essence the point of being under the table) LoL... So, then as you step on the (hand) side of the branch it’ll hold its position at FIRST (there the effectiveness of the move) until enough downforce pressure is applied and then it’ll snap where the rock and the tree branch meet at the hypothetical elbow joint. This is considering the fact that you’ve anchored the branch permanently where as in an arm wrestling match the anchor is only as permanent as to how long Michael Todd chooses to be under the table... but as you’ve noticed he’ll rise up eliminating the anchor and be pinned saving his elbow joint from ever breaking.
@Morten R L Basically no...because you just drop your weight and let the mechanics of the straps do the rest..your arm is not in bad position neither absorbs lateral forces ..Todd many times jokes with his wife while performing it..Some “flop wrist “ cases are far more dangerous. But , keep in mind there are some minimum requirements for one to perform a successful KM ..
If some how you(Travis) and Denis Cyplenkov can work out a deal with sponsors or whoever, where you 2 arm wrestle(both arms)and do some sort of a pay per view platform...I’d pay to watch that, and I’m not crazy into arm wrestling
As already mentioned Cyplenkov has kidney failure. Doing heavy androgens of the oral variety for years on end will fuck you up. Prediction, Cyplenkov is done.
@@9999rockey To be honest Levan just looks like a natural fukin beast , of course hes on something but freaking cyplenkov you can see from so many miles away hes been on the juice for so fukin long its disgusting.
@@anthonyw9129 that's why these motherfuckers are getting boost up because they get support from people like you. Many naturals are there in armwrestling they are also good. Why to risk life.
Travis is a good teacher, but that form looks illegal -- the same form Lupkes tried on Brzenk is 1988 and ref kept pushing Lupkes's head back. Lupkes looked like cheat with his head over the top. Bad ethics. Dirty pool sucks. Avoid it, I say.
Travis, when you coming to South Florida? I’m new to Armwrestling, been training with some strong a$$ Russians, but they don’t speak a whole lot of English. I’m lefty, they say a natural top roller and way to good looking to be doing this without a coach. A couple lessons from you and I might actually know what I’m doin. This video was great!
Next topic sir @travis bagent . It would be nice if you tackled about injuries of our sport and how to avoid such terrible injuries and how to rehabilitate them
This was the final tombstone imo .. We’ll never see Travis compete in high level again...it was already obvious tbh. Well , good luck with your channel sir , cocky or not , one of the most gifted and natural talents in the sport..if motivation and mentality were there he could have achieved 3 times more .
And that is why he doesn't like training with those fat handles. He talked about this during his demonstration at Moldova: it only further trains guys to always have their hand in front of themselves, and open. Strong as they might get, it's why Travis beat Dave so easily, and then a couple of Eastern Euros (the former before tearing a pec, the latter before calling out Denis lefty). He will ALWAYS have an advantage because of how he can pull in this setup.

@@alexredroberto4939 I don't disagree with you. I like them both and I think they're both great.
I am impressed that he is so good at explaining things.
As a fellow WV guy myself Travis is the greatest arm wrestler that has ever lived !!!
Travis definitely has better advice than Devon. Don't do what Devon says I'd say actually. Do what Travis says.
But Devon is good for the sport bevause of his charisma
Why not do Devon’s advice?

Good. Very good travi
...ok, had to subscribe. This channel is gonna be pure 🔥🔥🔥

Travis are you retired or are you ever going to make a comeback? Your by far the baddest dude out there!
Awsome shit Travis!
Can you recruit your own guy for the next bottom8 tournament?!
Travis thank you for this video
Thanks for this!
You should play the stone cold Steve Austin music as your intro. It fits.
What a great video man 💪
smart tips
Good Shit !
Thanks very insightful.
u r smart
Good stuff. How is your stregth these days after your injury? Are you still trainig regularly?
What if both the guys are trying to set up with knuckles high? Then wo would have the advantage with the set up ?
Subtítulos porfa
1 dislike from Devon...
And Michael Todd
Had a session with Travis a few weeks ago and this was the same thing he talked about then. It’s been my mantra since then. Legit!
Devon Larratt watch out! Travis over here bringin the heat with these tips!
Very good instruction. Great detailed breakdown.

Best advice on a toproll I ever heard.
I’ve seen lots of videos of how to toproll, definitely the best one. Thanks Travis!!
Was expecting him to knock down Travis' phone any moment with his left hand, and Travis killing him afterwards :D
YEEEES im so happy please make more of this videos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Denis is done (kidney failure) and Travis is done (lazy, and maybe also injuries). Forget it.

You sound like Devon larrat with a cold
Travis, Brian Shaw needs you to teach him this.
Nice breakdown, learned a lot!!!!
IT’S THE GREATEST CHANNEL ON UA-cam 👍👍

A top roll masters class from Travis, this is gold
That’s good shit right there.
Come back to WAL Travis
Good job travis !
Already over 3k subs...that's cool af
Travis, when you coming to South Florida? I’m new to Armwrestling, been training with some strong a$$ Russians, but they don’t speak a whole lot of English. I’m lefty, they say a natural top roller and way to good looking to be doing this without a coach. A couple lessons from you and I might actually know what I’m doin. This video was great!
October 13, Orlando
Great. What are you charging these days to spend an hour with an amateur?
I’m sure art loves all the snot Travis just wiped all over his hand then touched arts hand yuck
How's the thumb? In your last video it was bothering you but u never mentioned it. Hope it heals fast
Best video of Travis so far... Really helpful stuff. Perfect explanation
Damn. I just pulled my 1st tourney last month and didnt realize that I was doing his style the entire time.
WV Puller I’m trying to find a local armwrestling tournament so bad, but I just can’t seem to find one
Nice intro Travis!
Ya te vi Alan
This channel is something you should’ve been doing a long time ago. You’re channel would by far be the best AW channel and it wouldn’t even be close.
Sir please speak in Hindi
The American hope and savior..... of armwrestling. Go go go and beat the Russian Hulk and Canadian Superman !
Next topic sir @travis bagent . It would be nice if you tackled about injuries of our sport and how to avoid such terrible injuries and how to rehabilitate them
This was the final tombstone imo ..
We’ll never see Travis compete in high level again...it was already obvious tbh.

awesome lesson travis,i wanna know how the hell their are 4 haters on this video,jealousy's a bitch i suppose.
Travis just moved up a notch in my book. Nice vid.
Dude, this is a great video. Very fuckin informative.💪
Good stuff
If I were an arm wrestler, I would want Travis to be my coach.
Travis is a beast but he’s lookin skinny, wtf?
Right? He look like 20-30lbs or so thin like... Toddzilla could take him atm
@@AtTheSourceStudios He isn't even competing so can't expect him to be big.
Trust me, hes not skinny in real life. Probably 250+ lbs
rise and rise again until lambs become lions or until you crack that wrist bby
Devon don't teach you anything on his channel he just talks and brags
Crystal clear instructions- thank you Travis 💪👍👍👍👍
I thought the guy he is training was small until he stood up.
How tall is travis? Because that guy in white is super tall!
The arm wrestling Jedi Knight dropp'n some knowledge! Preach on Brother!
It looked like he just went straight to the side. Is that still a top roll?
This is the way the Russian high school kid armwrestles
Does he only pronate and line up over his shoulder when in straps
Can you show the strap manipulation and same exercises with pull up band?
Travis how healthy are you currently?
100k sub in no time..
If he kept puttin out content. Unfortunately Trav is lazy and he stopped :(
Man u have the most awesome 😎 clips
Spanish Subtitules PLEASE!!!!!
Travis is looking small. That's sad.
now i know how to pitch when the ceiling is falling
Never realized Travis is left handed
Holy sh:ttt! Is art 6'5/6'6?!
Well dammit.. That explains allot
Super knowledgeable
It is gonna expose your hyyyyyyand
Oh mister big mouth!!!
first 2021 comment
theres strong and then theres travis
He's right, that is good shit :)
Top roll is better than hook
Great stuff
HELL. FUCKING. YES! I want about 10,000 more of these from about 15 different arm wrestlers.
А что с турниром Тревиса, он же что то обещал?
Can u do a video on plate holds
Awesome! I love this shit!
Travis has lost weight

wow .... damn good shit
Pero que pasa cuando el juez te dice que tú cuerpo esta mut pegado a la mano?
Me imagino que retrocedes hacia tras pero con la misma posicion
Por favor, activar traduccion al ESPAÑOL.
PLEASE, translated to SPANISH.
Tnks Travis.
Devan is doing just that these days 😅 . Always elevating getting on top . Denis did the same against John in KOT. Awesome tips 👍
What to do if he is short?
I need sub in english
Top notch teacher
